Hey everyone! I've started this thread to gauge general interest in 3d printed, small scale props. I focus on small scale because it's generally not affordable to 3d print larger props - just ask Talyaa about her Samus Aran Varia suit!
Brief back story on me, I'm a CAD designer currently modeling for design patent applications, but I'm phasing into product design. I've had one pretty successful run of 3d printed props on the RPF (Doctor Who sonic screwdrivers and other small props from the series) and I'm currently holding an INT thread for another run featuring the 8th Doctor's alternate sonic screwdriver (which I believe I am not allowed to link to, so I will not). I also have a thread with a collection of 1:5 scale models of video game consoles that I'm printing for myself. I've been doing 3d modeling for nearly 20 years and I enjoy it so much, I'm looking for more props and miniatures to model.
So my question to everyone is, what are some small props and miniatures you'd like to see? Something that isn't available on the market, perhaps? Something that is too costly or time consuming to fabricate by other means? Let the requests fly!!! If I see enough people showing interest in the same things, I'll definitely consider putting some time in on modeling them!
